I have tried to export my model as STL, using the 3D exporting plug-in, but all I get is 1k empty STL files. My model is about 500.000 polygons, watertight. It has been decimated from 4 mil polygons. Can anyone offer help? Or at least can anyone give me the 3D export plug in for ZB 3.1?
I have found two other threads asking similar questions but getting no answers. I hope my thread has better luck…
I’ve also run into trouble with the R3 stl exporter. So far, I’ve resorted to re-activating Zbrush 3.1, importing an obj from R3 then exporting the stl. The only reason I’m using 3.1 is that Im finding it’ll load the obj faster than Max.
mine is doing the same, the stl file contains no data
this is exporting a decimated mesh with no subtools
I’d like you to do the following:
- Go to your Control Panel>Remove Programs and select ZBrush 3.5 in the list. Click on Change (above the list) and use the Modify feature to remove 3D Print Exporter.
- Download 3D Print Exporter again from http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/zplugins/ and install it through the normal plugin installation method rather than the R3 installer.
Had the same problem, this fixed it for me.
